5 Background Ballasted track sleepers have the important function of providing sufficient lateral resistance to prevent lateral movement of the rails. If the lateral force induced by the thermal expansion of the steel rails overcomes the lateral resistance of the sleepers, rail buckling may occur. However, there is a high degree of uncertainty in the prediction of the lateral resistance of various shapes of sleepers.

6 Objective and Methodology Single-sleeper pullout tests and track panel pullout tests were conducted in the laboratory on 1/5-scale models to evaluate the lateral resistance of various shapes of concrete sleepers. Effects of sleeper shape, sleeper spacing and number of sleepers on the lateral resistance were investigated. Sleepers prepared for model tests Track panel pullout test (1/5-scale models)

30 Summary (1/2) The side frictional resistance, end resistance, and bottom resistance significantly affect the total lateral resistance of the sleepers. The prediction method proposed in RTRI 2012 is valid not only for conventional sleepers, but also for winged sleepers. However, the idea that the lateral resistance measured at a horizontal displacement of 2.0 mm in full-scale (or 0.4 mm in 1/5-scale) single-sleeper pullout tests corresponds to that in track panel pullout tests is only valid for limited conditions. This is because of the piled group effect in track panel pullout tests.

31 Summary (2/2) Because the degree of the piled group effect is controlled by the ratio of the sleeper width to the sleeper spacing, a significant reduction of lateral resistance may be observed in track panel pullout tests depending on the sleeper type. The lateral resistance per sleeper in track panel pullout tests reduces with increasing number of sleepers. This is due to the effects of boundary conditions and loading width. Based on the results of the model tests, a simple calculation method for estimating the lateral resistance of sleepers in pullout tests for a wide range of numbers of sleepers is proposed.

35 Background Increase of axial force with the increase of rail temperature Lateral resistance of ballasted tracks Damage observed after an earthquake (Momoya et al. 2013) Earthquake may affect. Lateral resistance characteristics subjected to earthquakes should be clarified so that appropriate countermeasures can be implemented.

36 Nakamura et al. (2014) conducted a series of shaking table tests on full-scale ballasted tracks. They found that lateral resistance was reduced during and after seismic motions. Shaking table tests on a full-scale ballasted track (Nakamura et al. 2014)

37 Railway tracks at structure boundaries have other problems. Angular folding Differential displacement Elevated railway bridges subjected to earthquakes (Takahashi et al., 2008) In addition to seismic vibration, local differential displacement or folding at structure boundaries may reduce the lateral resistance of ballasted tracks.

55 Load cells Sleeper A Sleeper B Sleeper C Load cells were installed on the sleepers so that lateral resistance of each sleeper could be measured in the track panel pull-out tests.

60 Summary 1. Physical modeling methods which simulate angular folding of ballasted tracks at structure boundaries were attempted. 2. Folding experience reduced the lateral resistance of ballasted tracks. With the increase of folding angle, the lateral resistance reduced. 3. The lateral resistance was sharply decreased by the first angulra folding, but reduced little beyond the first loading when the folding angle remained constant. 4. The more away from the structure boundary, reduction of the lateral resistance of the sleeper became less significant. 5. Based on the experimental results, track area affected by the angular folding was suggested. Reduction rate of the lateral resistance by the angular folding was also proposed.
